We (Ryan's bparents, DH and I) came up with names 'jointly' - i.e. we all discussed what we'd like, why, 'tried on' names, then agreed. We all quickly agreed on a girl name. We had THREE sets of boy's names though. Weren't sure until he came out. Yep, he's a Ryan. Both his bema and I said so when we saw him. That settled that.
Since ours is fully open, we didn't want any issues with different names - i.e. bmom naming him "George", then us 'changing' the name to "Floyd". That seemed somehow wrong to us (not that its' wrong, it just wasn't right for our situation).
